Some good things, but more bad than good

Pros

Some genuinely nice co-workers. Low base pay but relatively good bonus. Excellent Benefits. That is all.

Cons

There are so many undesirable things I can list about this company, but I will focus on the core issues: - Employee retention is poor. Why? If you're not of that nationality, you get zero progression or transfer opportunities. Most managers favour their own and will replace and/or hire their kind to fill in senior positions in their global offices wherever possible. - Are you someone vocal, full of ideas and are able to conjure suggestions to improve workflow processes? Please try not to do that in Vale, not only will your ideas and suggestions get shot down by the management, you will be regarded as a "problem child". Prepare to kiss your future in Vale goodbye. The best part? That teammate of yours from the native land with similar ideas will get recognized! - Management is highly political. Go against them, and prepare to kiss your progression goodbye. - A good number of employees get soaked and influenced by the Vale culture. What happens? They'll learn to do finger pointing when things goes wrong.
